Viberg

was not a fan of the 310 last I owned. It was love at first sight but once I had em…. not so much... would have rather just beat up a pair of regular toed boots and had the natural curvature that occurs. Just my humble $0.02 though. To those who like, enjoy!
I love the way they look (basically the Platonic ideal of "workboot") but I could never get used to how they felt to walk in, with the higher heel etc. So I've decided the 2045 is the perfect compromise – enough of the classic workboot look (unlike the dressier 2030), but more comfortable to walk in.

I have the 310 last and would attests that its quite comfortable for walking. Leather soles with cats paw heels, walking in them long distance to and from my kids school. What I would add to it is a rubber sole to make it more versatile. Other than that no complaint here. Also you won't notice the sprung toe after a while.

Yes sir..
I think Viberg's HH is my favorite boot leather of all time. Better than the thinner shell, and waaay better than CXL. It's thick and hardwearing like the oil tans, but has some richness to it like CXL. And compare it with pics of White's HH, which gets all creased up right away. I wish Viberg had more of it available…

thanks guys,
but i have absolutely no credits in this, except from hating the "buckles" viberg used.i think style king padmore was fed up with the viberg buckles as well, searched for alternatives
and ended up having his one buckles produced in japan.i really love them and yes the transform the boots.
its a good example why the Iron Heart / Giles stuff is so good!@friday:
it was quite easy to change the buckles. if you ain't have the right tools, every cobbler can do it for you.
